nice. R9 290X has 10% more sp and a 5.5% higher clock compared to R9 290. I am guessing R9 290X will be 10- 12% faster than R9 290. the R9 290 if priced at USD 450 will be an awesome GPU. it should have excellent OC headroom and scale very well.

Ya this is very disturbing wish they would release prices and let us wait until we can actually order it. Makes no sense to keep it under secrecy.
I just feel like if i buy a 780 now, that ill end up regretting it in the very near future.
